How One Street Over Combines Flavors Of Ethiopia, Eritrea And India
Faven Ressom and Mable Abraham wanted a place that combined the culture of Atlanta with the flavors of Ethiopia, Eritrea and India. Ressom and Mable provides that experience with their restaurant One Street Over.
During a recent food tasting, Ressom, Mable and Chef Scotley Innis provided insight on what patrons can expect from One Street Over.
Some of the menu items include Salmon Tandoori, Spiced Corn Ribs, Wings, Lamb Sliders, and Berbere Tibs Taco.
Ressom shared why it was important to infuse cultures with this venture.
“Mable is from Mumbai, India, and my family’s there too, but I was born in Ethiopia,” Ressom said. “I am what’s known as Habesha. So it’s basically using the spices, seasoning and cooking style of cultures we created with Chef Scotley Innis. This is really something that we’re really, really passionate about. This is kind of a gateway for us, to introduce people to our native culture, our cuisine, and to kind of get them interested and excited about actually going and experiencing the Ethiopian food, the Indian food. This is a very subtle way of introducing people to our cuisine and our culture as well. And as you guys know, Atlanta is very diverse. However, it’s very segregated. We wanted to create something that’s kind of central for us to get a little bit comfortable, familiar with the food together.”
